Mrs. Nellie Inez Phillips Holliday Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Inez was born on August 21, 1952 and went home to be with Jesus and her husband on May 6, 2018. She was 65 years old. Inez loved her flowers; especially roses. She loved being outdoors, going fishing or just talking to friends, family and neighbors. Inez, as we all knew her, was a mother, sister and friend that loved life to the fullest. She was also a grandmother to Christian and Donald Long. They were not blood kin, but she called them hers. Those who knew Inez will never forget her; she was a very outspoken person. She never wanted fancy things, and did not complain about anything. She was happy being a wife and mother. The small things and simple things people did for her made her happy. She was always full of life and joy, that was Inez. Inez, we all love you and miss you.
